Welders continue to have increased deaths from pneumococcal pneumonia

 Welders continue to have increased deaths from pneumococcal pneumonia
An update of UK death certificate data for pneumococcal pneumonia continues to show an increased wisk in welders, likely to be due to inhalation of ferrous metal particulates. The PMR of those of working age 2001-2010 was 3.58 (95% CI 1.44-7.32). Shouldn't we be offering pneumococcal vaccination to all ferous metal workers?
